You’ve tried therapy before, but you didn’t feel like you made much progress.

You feel hopeless like you’ll be living with your troubles forever.

You’re haunted by memories and flashbacks of past trauma.

You feel stuck, even though you just want to move forward and feel better.

Whether it’s a major event or a series of small upsetting events that disrupt your life, almost everyone experiences trauma. Oftentimes, when this happens you become stuck and are unable to move forward in your life because you can’t stop thinking about the things that happened in the past. This causes uncomfortable feelings like anxiety, depression, hopelessness, anger, hostility, and more. You may even feel like you’re caught in a vicious cycle, wondering if you will ever be free from these feelings.

Perhaps, you’ve tried traditional “talk-therapy” and found that it helps a little; but after a while, you find yourself back in the same cycle feeling terrible all over again. On the other hand, maybe you find yourself emotionally drained from reliving you past week after week in traditional therapy.

Move forward in your life with EMDR Therapy

Nobody likes feeling stuck in the past, but there’s hope. EMDR therapy at The Well House in Southlake, TX can help. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitizationand Reprocessing. It is a well-researched, quick, and highly effective form of psychotherapy. According to the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders.

How EMDR Therapy in Texas works

The goal of EMDR is to help you find your “stuck point.” This is the memory that’s preventing you from finding meaningful healing from the past. We do this by using specific eye movements, tappers, and auditory stimulation. Stuck points are often found in memory, feeling, or a troublesome thought. These stuck points may make you feel uncomfortable, scared, or upset. When stimulated through EMDR, the left and right sides of the brain connect and work together. This unlocks the memories you’ve been trying to repress and allows for true healing to begin. Specific EMDR protocols allow your brain to heal without interference from your thinking mind. This is what makes EMDR more effective than traditional talk therapy alone. Although you will still remember your past, you will be less triggered by the emotions it brings up.

Why should I begin EMDR Therapy with The Well House?

We know it can be frightening to begin a new form of therapy, especially when it involves discussing your past. Oftentimes when we think of therapy, we imagine re-telling our past experiences with a counselor, but EMDR is different. With the EMDR protocols, you are not asked to tell and re-tell different memories from the past. In fact, you will spend some time identifying the most important past memory or feeling; but after that, the EMDR protocols work best when you stop interpreting the past and start noticing what comes up. In other words, in an EMDR session, you will only need to notice the thoughts, feelings, and memories that come up. Your EMDR trained counselor understands that sometimes when memory is traumatic it is very difficult and painful to remember the details. Without EMDR and traditional therapy, you may try to avoid thinking about the past, but this does not help you move forward. This will only perpetuate the cycle and leave you feeling stuck in your emotions. The therapists at The Well House in Southlake, TX are trained to teach you many different tools and strategies that will help you contain and handle any negative emotions that come up in an EMDR session or at home. Your EDMR counselor will not begin EMDR with you until you are both confident in your abilities to handle any emotions that may come up.

A common misconception about EMDR Therapy

EMDR is not hypnosis, nor will you be forced to relive your past. During an EMDR therapy session, you are fully aware and in control. In EMDR therapy, your counselor will help you get into a more relaxed and grounded state of mind. You will be guided to move beyond the analytical mind. It is in this state that your brain is able to rewire and reprocess the targeted memories. You are your counselor will also discuss your goals regarding reprocessing the memory. In fact, you will only heal to the extent that feels safe to you. Your counselor is unable to move you beyond your own comfort levels. You can begin EMDR knowing that you are fully in control of the process and level of healing.

You may be worried that this treatment method will be too costly. In reality, it saves you money. EMDR therapy allows you to access your stuck points so you make progress in therapy faster. Ultimately, this saves you money in the long run since it would take you much longer to make this type of progress in traditional talk-therapy alone.
